The Cities of Belleville, Quinte West and Prince Edward County are pleased to announce the first fall Quinte Trash Bash, happening Saturday, Sept. 27, 2025.

Quinte Trash Bash is a community-wide cleanup that brings people together to clean up roadsides, parks and other public spaces across the Quinte region. Following the success of the spring event, the Quinte Trash Bash Planning Committee is excited to host a second event in the fall.

Each participating community will provide supplies in advance and on the day of the event. Visit quintetrashbash.ca for more information on supply kit pick-up and garbage drop-off locations in your community.

“Quinte Trash Bash is back for a second time this year, building on the success of the spring cleanup,” said City of Quinte West Mayor Jim Harrison. “It’s another opportunity for our community to come together, show pride in our city and protect our environment.”

“With the success of past events, we are pleased to be hosting a fall Trash Bash for the first time,” said Belleville Mayor Neil Ellis. “Thank you to the members of our community who continue to participate year after year and make our city a cleaner place. I encourage everyone to come out on Sept. 27 and join in on this growing initiative.”

“A fall edition of the Owen Jones Memorial Trash Bash in support of the Quinte Trash Bash is a welcome and much needed community event,” said Prince Edward County Mayor Steve Ferguson. “Through his tireless work and dedication, Owen Jones showed us that there are things we can do throughout the year to beautify our community. I encourage everyone to get out on September 27 and enjoy autumn in Prince Edward County while also making a real difference in the place we live and share.”
